Line 12 stretches 17.2 km and features 31 stations across its route. The €20M contract includes options up to €65M for additional services.

Hitachi Rail on Other Paris Metro Lines

Hitachi Rail already launched CBTC on two Paris Metro lines successfully. Line 3 operates with the system, and Line 6 joins in 2025.

Competitors Alstom and Siemens also contribute to Paris Metro upgrades. They participate in the project, but each company handles its sections.

The CBTC system enhances safety and cuts travel time on Line 12. This strengthens the company’s reputation, because Paris trusts their tech and solutions.

Upgrading Line 12 improves Paris’s transport network and ensures passenger comfort. Residents gain reliable metro service, and the company solidifies its industry leadership.

The OCTYS 2030 program covers the entire metro and attracts top global firms. Thus, Paris becomes an innovation hub, and Hitachi Rail plays a key role.
